Yes, if your child has mumps, they can spread the virus to others. Mumps is highly contagious and can be transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing, sneezing, or talking, as well as through direct contact with an infected person's saliva. It's important to keep your child isolated from others during the contagious period, which typically begins a few days before the swelling starts and lasts for about five days after. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine can help prevent the spread of mumps.

If you have had mumps can you still pass the virus on?
If you have had mumps, you typically develop immunity to the virus, which means you are unlikely to contract it again or pass it on to others. However, in very rare cases, individuals can still carry the virus and be contagious, particularly if they have a weakened immune system. It's important to maintain good hygiene practices to prevent any potential spread, even if you believe you are immune. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is the best way to prevent the disease and its transmission.
